Perfect Strangers

Perfect strangers
 On a crowded city sidewalk buying hotdogs
 Standing awkwardly together
 Maybe talking about the weather
 Maybe talking about nothing much at all
 Lonely people
 Exchanging glances in the subway station's turnstile
 Hey there Miss I've got a question
 Could you help me with directions?
 Could you tell me how to get to here form there?
 Perfect strangers
 Because everything looks better in low lighting
 Perfect strangers
 There don't know all of my mistakes
 The wounds from every heartbreak I have hiding
 It seems the less you know
 About a person
 Makes it seem as though
 They might be perfect
 And before you know
 You've gone and fallen in love
 With a perfect stranger
 The day I met you I was sure I'd found the answer
 So I promised you forever and we tied ourselves together
 Like some rogue three-legged racer on the loose
 Five years later
 There is something in your touch so unfamiliar
 And it seems so hard to recognize you, girl
 With those defeated eyes
 That used to dance like fireflies in a jar
 Perfect strangers
 Man, you're fracturing a thing that once came natural
 Perfect strangers
 Moving further with each heartbeat
 In directions that may not meet up again
 It seems the more you try to stay together
 There's a force that pries you apart
 How I wish that I had never fallen in love
 With a perfect stranger
